Auctioneer. | Nazoi lor inuuemui and CiiUtrh. many's primary pro due t< to provide for 'payment, within v reasonable period,* ,of the Allied indebtedness, together with the interest thereon. in this way, the magnitude of her iniquity and the inevitable consequences i.'l' crimes such us those ut which Germany ha:, bi/en i/uiii-y, would be kept alive in the German mind Tor probabiy the next century, and would furnish one of the guarantees against any reversion \o militarism by the German nation, iiy the time her obligation had been Gibcharged, the triumph oi' democracy would be complete. My opinion is that the British Dominions, at any rate, should unequivocally demand to be indemnified against the liability whivji German greed and rapacity have'forced upon them. If the wealthiest members of the Allied famiiy desire to display generosity to the vlerman nation, thy can or course make any sacrifice' they wish on their own account; but as far as the Dominions are concerned, full indemmlieation should be afforded. The financial aspect is, moreover, -not the only one that calls: for consideration. Here, at tins trystingplace of the ages, stand outraged Justice and affiicted Humanity, appealing to the champions of Right— Justice demanding vindication of her honour, .ami Humanity crying out for redress of her grievances. The victors cannot turn a deaf ear to their appeal. Those responsible for the perpetration of the countless inhumanities, barbarisms and iniquities that have made this war a horror of horrors, should be arraigned at the bar of f;n international judicial tribunal nmi_ receive from that august Court the just punishment of their offences. The exalted station of a culprit should have no influence upon the decrees of such Court. The braggart and blaspheming- "All Highest," if shown to be responsible, should receive the same treatment as the lowest common soldier. Thus we shall perfect the work which our gallant dead have had to leave unfinished, ,and iill up the measure of their sacrifices, so that the splendour of their completed achievement shall go down with undimmed lustre to a grateful posterity, and shine for ever with an imperishable glory." Mr Watson thanked the shareholders for again returning him unopposed, and assured them that he would not neglect their interests. He added: "The great changes in the business o fthe Bank brought about by the Government commandeer and purchase of the Dominion's principal products, ,the lack of shipping, the absence of so many men, and the necessary taxation and. removal of money for war expenses, have undoubtedly affected banking profits and that expansion and growth of or--1 dinary business which otherwise 1 would' have taken place. On the ' other hand the Bank's funds have ' been kept well and safely employed 1 during the period of the war, and ' everyone will admit that there has ' been no war exploitation on its part. ,1 1 The " best agent for quickly and I surely raising cakes and scones, and i lightening puddings and batters, is Edmonds Baking Powder. > Infallible, pure and wholesome; it 1 is unsurpassed and unsurpassable.
